Pie in the sky

It really hurts when a frozen apple hits you
squarely on the head. It's so dangerous
in the woods these days. Not just lions
and tigers and bears (oh my!) but unexpected
things falling from above. And a frozen
apple doesn't even taste that good.

Bear Market

No shoes, no service, no bail-out for you.
Scrounging for any available sustinence.
It's ofter un-bear-able,
Yet you still bear down, with bear hands,
Surviving, just bear-ly.

LEAF IT ....!!!

Nature's best way of getting out a good message.
Time to procrastinate!!!
It takes little effort. And is easily mastered.
Even a caveman can do it.
Cats are grand masters.

End of Fall....VT

Too soon, the tree colors fade
and the camera turns to porch steps,
plant containers, garden borders, and all the
places now touched by falling leaves.
And it's 10 minutes after Twelve.

More Fall Color.....

Quilts of color in every direction.
More leaves on the ground too.
Fun to kick thru the leaf piles.
Fall Color everywhere.
Still magic.

Fall Color........

Once the leaves started to change color,
it quickly became a cascade of transformation.
Almost too rapidly, every tree was awash in
new color tones. And, just as fast,
the leaves started to fall. A few at first,
then in the breeze, numerous flakes in the wind.
Soon the ground would be covered
and the tree limbs bare. And snow ....
well, just for now, it was color, everywhere.
Magic.

Marginal(ly) (a)way......

The caravan stopped briefly at Ogunquit, ME.
Not as crowded this time of year.
And plenty of room for the modest east coast surfing.
And grand strolling on the Marginal Way
The late season garden bloomers
were an enjoyable surprise, too.
Just talk to the paw.
